DOT/USD trading strategy

DOTUSD completed wave I at a peak of 5.407, after which it entered a corrective phase under the ABC format in wave II. The most recent wave C appears to have concluded at 3.737, aligning closely with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level from wave I, set at 3.945. This indicates a potential shift into wave III, typically associated with upward momentum. If the price surpasses the critical 4.40 resistance level—defined as the Bullish Level—it would confirm the conclusion of wave II.

Trading strategies

  • Strategy

  • Swing Traders (Short-Term)
    • Long Position: Enter after a confirmed breakout above 4.40, signifying wave III has started.
  • Risk management:

    • Place a Stop Loss just under 3.30

DOTUSD wrapped up wave I at 5.407, after which it retraced in wave II via an ABC structure. The recent wave C seems to have ended at 3.737, effectively testing the 0.618 Fibonacci level of wave I at 3.945.
